Additionally, Opengear is announcing the expansion of its manufacturing capacity in Sandy, Utah. This 20,000 square foot product manufacturing facility doubles its previous size and has earned TÜV Rheinland and CCC certifications.

“It’s been an important goal for Opengear to move all final goods hardware manufacturing in-house,” said Gary Marks, President, Opengear. “With an expanded facility we are now able to bring manufacturing to our U.S. facility that had previously been completed in China. This move gives us greater control over our operations and the agility to develop and deliver an ever more exciting line of smart out-of-band solutions to our customers.”
